My son wants me to make him a quilt. I have asked what kind and he responded " I don't Care" So My question is What kind of quilt pattern do I do for a 28 years old? I would like for it to be manly. Please help.

I have four sons and they liked the bears paw block
|
Turning Twenty could work.
|
log cabin
|
Does he have a favorite sport or sport team?
|
I've got 3 in the works that are similar to turning twenty (figured out my own sizes of blocks rather than buy the pattern). One is motorcycles/classic cars, one is motorcycles/cars/skeletons, one is tropical stuff, the main fabric is Party Parrots. I showed one to the other son and he loved it. The top went together very quickly.
Happy Hour is another nice pattern. It looks pretty easy too. |
Maybe in his favorite color with fabric in all four seasons.

There's a quilt designed by Bill Kerr and Weeks Ringle that was featured in the June 2010 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine that would be great for a guy. It's called Crossing and looks like this: http://craftnectar.com/2010/04/12/cr...ret-and-susan/
You can get a back issue of the magazine from APQ or a kit of the quilt from FunQuilts (Kerr and Ringle's business name) at http://www.funquilts.com/gallery/patterns/patterns.html |
I think it makes it more manly in the darker shades and many patterns would do.

This doesn't help, but when I read your title, I thought "If I wsn't married, I'd be looking for a man pattern too!"
LOL sorry! If you want something fast and easy with great result, Yellow Brick Road is a great one. I made one with deer, plaid and grass fabric. Hubby LOVES it!! |
